Hopefully, this will be recognized by a few players here - I don't mean yours truly but the thing in the background.

Fran, you are correct and one of the players I thought would recognize this bridge connecting Tampa and St. Petersburg.

That fella in the foreground distracted me for a moment but I got past it.
Anyone with a photo please feel free to post. Kim, Tom?

Carol, you and Fran were my prime suspects in identifying this structure. Now if someone with a picture to post will oblige.

Fred--you know, I HATE that bridge!!
Ever since I was a little girl, my mom installed in me a deep fear of high bridges, and that one is the one that I most often have had to deal with!!

Can't get anything from the pictures but guessing southern Spain, presumably not Ronda as we've had that a few times, so... Mijas?

A few clues indicate France? I thought you had a lot of pictures once you returned to the UK? Anyway, nice to see people walking around sans masks!

No further guesses? Well, those who have been to the Normandy Beaches were not very far from this town...

Hanfleur? That is the only town I know near Normandy Beaches. If correct, I have no pics to share as mine are almost all BVI.

Honfleur is the answer. Beautiful town with this magnificent bridge across the River Seine...

I'm afraid I don't know about the latest photo. But if I can back up one destination, that Pont de Normandie does look beautiful from the photos. It seems that cable-stayed designs have become very popular for their aesthetics, and are used for many new bridges including three here in the NYC area. But that one looks particularly impressive.

Not bored, and believe I have seen those windmills posted somewhere before on TTOL and I think it was at this game. Problem with getting old - CRS.

Not very well up on the names of Greek islands so, once again, a guess... Mykonos?

I know !! I just want to get on a plane to somewhere...anywhere .
To make matters worse all of my Facebook memories this week are from BVI trips for the past 10 years ..this is the first year in the past several decades that we were home for the entire Canadian winter ...which can be brutal at times
We have a boat but it is covered with snow and we are dreaming of the day we can sit on a lawn chair on an actual lawn

The only other Greek Island I could think of was Kefalonia and I knew it wasn't there. Next one...

Looks like typical German posts for the wine, and typical German houses on the hill and an old Roman lookout tower, perhaps from the "Limes". At first I thought it might be along the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer rivers, but the Limes would put it further east along either the Rhine or Main. Am I close or very far off?
